## Add scaffold tooling and perform initial migration Add the following lines to the *RazorPagesMovie.csproj* file, just before the closing `` tag: ```xml ``` From the command line, run the following .NET Core CLI commands: ```console dotnet add package Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design dotnet restore dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate dotnet ef database update ``` The `DotNetCliToolReference` element and the `add package` command install the tooling required to run the scaffolding engine. The `ef migrations add InitialCreate` command generates code to create the initial database schema. The schema is based on the model specified in the `DbContext` (In the *Models/MovieContext.cs* file). The `InitialCreate` argument is used to name the migrations. You can use any name, but by convention you choose a name that describes the migration. See [Introduction to migrations](xref:data/ef-mvc/migrations#introduction-to-migrations) for more information. The `ef database update` command runs the `Up` method in the *Migrations/\_InitialCreate.cs* file, which creates the database.
